Thats so great! I can't wait for my little man to walk. I think it will be after a year though :( We work with him every day......... He totally could do it I know it he walks all over the couches and he even climbs up on things....he litterally will find a toy to stand on to climb up on chairs and what not (we have to keep a close eye).......... I think it is pure will and stubborness why he wont do it. As we encourage him holding his hand and even get him to stand by himself he sits and then after a couple times he bends his legs and wont even stand. I wish he knew how much better it would be and how much more trouble he could get himself into he would so be on it! lol!!

Any tips on encouraging/teaching or you think we should back off a bit? We are leaning toward backing off and waiting for him I just know he is going to just do it one day all by him self

Just let him explore on his own, but be there to catch him during the falls.

Aiden will be 11 months on Nov 10 and has been walking for nearly 2 months. During the first week of the 9th month, he just got up off the floor and walked across the room. We (mom, dad, grandmother, and aunt) couldn't believe our eyes.

Every since then he has been walking everywhere, and occasionally running!!! He is making great STRIDES!!

How exciting for you! For about two weeks now, Lila has been consistently taking approximately 3 or 4 steps, seemingly without realizing it, because then she'll get this huge look of surprise on her face and immediately fall down and refuses to try again. Then later, in the midst of her play, she'll take a few steps again...and if I cheer for her or try to encourage her, she'll fall down and wont do it anymore, and round and round we go...so now Im trying to pretend like its not a big deal when she takes her steps in hopes that she'll keep doing it, but so far I havent seen her take anymore than about 4 in a row!
